Establishing a NWFZ involves a number of steps. Considering the
distinct histories and concerns in each treaty's zone, the process for
establishing NWFZs varies among regions. Steps to set-up a NWFZ generally
include:
1) Initial regional initiatives and consultation;
2) Negotiation and drafting between interested parties;
3) Adoption of the draft treaty text; 4)
Signing the NWFZ treaty by relevant parties; 5)
Ratification of
the treaty by national legislatures; and 6)
Entry into force
of the NWFZ treaty.
